Sorry for the long overdue tutorial wrapping up this keying series. Here is the advanced keying template video, along with a flowchart and download link to the template scripts, which you can save to your toolsets for your own use in your nuke scripts.

Here is the Template Flow Chart from the video for you to download and review:

Finally, I want to thank everyone for your continued support, views, shares, comments, and emails. It all means a lot to me and you’ve certainly motivated me to keep going. Thank you.

As always, if there are any questions, just leave a comment or shoot me an email and I will try my best to respond. Hopefully with this series of tutorials, and now this template, you guys will be fully equipped to handle even the toughest of keys.

Here is the link to a great despill tutorial which goes over blending BG colors using the difference matte of a despilled plate –> to the original plate. If you are new to the concept of blending your despill with the background then you are really going to like this video. He talks about flame in the beginning of the video and switches to nuke later.

Thanks for watching, next I’ll go over how to achieve and control the despill to get what you need.

Sorry for not posting in a couple months, I have been traveling and working. But I am ready to finish off this series. I think you guys will like this one because I go over some techniques on the IBK workflow. The first part of the video I show you a comparison between how I usually see IBK being used and the IBK stacked technique. There are 4 examples (a greenscreen, a bluescreen, a hair problem, and a shadow problem) that I go over and explain the concept of what the IBK is doing, and the importance of the IBK Color, or cleanplate.

Next I give you a step by step breakdown of how to setup this IBK stacked techniques by building these 4 examples from scratch. If you are already familiar with IBK and want to jump into the step by step process of this stacked technique, you can just to 7:09 (Step by Step process, example 1 greenscreen).

Advanced Keying Breakdown Series: Introduction

Hi all,

So I knew I wanted to do a keying tutorial awhile back, but I didn’t want it to be the same old crappy keying tutorial that you always see online. The teacher always talks about how to use the tools, and not about the main concepts or techniques behind them, the end result, what we are actually after.

I have put together this introduction video, and a part 1 video “ALPHA 1.1 Pre-Processing Greenscreen”, as a push to get this stuff out to you guys. Here is the Slide in the video for you guys to save for your own use:

I will go into all of these in far more details, this video is just me talking and doing a rundown of what to expect in upcoming videos.

I recommend you guys browse through the following videos on Nukestation (a GREAT website and central location for nuke tutorials) if you are new to keying or compositing. The video I am doing is quite advanced, and you’re probably going to want to get a firm grip on the keying tools in nuke before watching.http://nukestation.com/category/keying/
